WHAT OTHER TEACHERS ARE SAYING ABOUT THIS LITERATURE RESOURCE
♥ Great materials with an up to date visual appeal. I have been working with this play for 10 years, and I am excited to have some materials to freshen up the unit. Thank for putting this all together!
♥ As always, this is a fantastically thorough resource. I’ve used your unit packages for two others units: Night and Unwind. I cannot express how much these make my life easier. Instead of getting bogged down in preparation, which I tend to do when I’m teaching a certain course for the first time, I can stay excited and that’s very obvious to my students. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
♥ I bought this unit first in 2014 when I had my first stint teaching 9th graders this classic. Fast forward to 2019, and I once again have 9th grade English. This resource has been updated with lots of great additions since I last used it, and I found it very helpful in creating my unit this year. I do wish the character charts had an answer key and that a multiple choice test had been included. Other than these slight things, I appreciated the bundle.
♥ Love this! It’s visually interesting and very well done. I am budgeting
for other content from this author. This is TOP-notch.
♥ There’s so much here that I haven’t had time to go through it all yet, but as I scroll through the zip file and browse, I’m overwhelmed by the possibilities. This is a rich resource indeed. Thanks for adding the great teacher guides, too!
